I'm now pointing my Samba 3 (this is a different computer, running Mandrake 9.1) to the correct TCP port of 901, but when I attempt to enter my root password, it rejects the login attempt and says, "Authentication failed! Do you want to retry?" Two things; retrying has included other legit usernames and passwords, but all have failed. Secondly, there is an account on my NT system called "root", and I changed the password on it to match the one, just in case it's trying to authenticate against the NT server (since this is Samba, and I have it on domain level security). Do any of these offer any clues? Thanks Eric
